I am doing a story on the 'It' bags right now. I have March Jacobs, Fendi, Coach, Chanel. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Balenciaga.

I am wondering if some of you great handbag gurus can help me by nameing/listing the it bags for each designer. Like under Louis Vuitton there could be the Speedy 25 and 30, Alma, etc. Under Chanel; Cambon tote, multipocket, heart link etc. and so on.

It would be greatly appreciated because I know you all know what's in and whatnot.

I try to look this stuff up on the net but all that usually comes up is 'handbags for sale' etc. fake fake fake sites. and i really hate weeding through all that crap.

Any other information about any of the seasons 'it' bags would help greatly.

you must add chloe and remove coach from that list. I also question louis vuitton and gucci -- they are popular designer bags but I can't think of a model that I would consider "it" for the season. marc jacobs is on the line, but I guess the stam has been marketed as an "it" bag.

I remember that article Greendrv mentioned and I think the Hermes bags were discussed as a contrast to "it" bags (as in, these are bags that are such quality that they transcend trends). in any event, I would not include classic bags like the birkin or kelly on an "it" list.
